Ingredients
- 2 cups pecan halves
- 0.5 cup granulated erythritol
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the granulated erythritol, butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon, salt, and water.
Step 3
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted and the erythritol is fully dissolved.
Step 4
Add the pecan halves to the saucepan and stir until they are well coated with the syrup mixture.
Step 5
Spread the coated pecans evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are in a single layer.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the pecans are fragrant and lightly browned.
Step 7
Remove the pecans from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up as they cool.
Step 8
Once cooled, transfer the candied pecans to an airtight container for storage.
